The Bad Baby Names Blog

I don't hate babies. I don't even hate parents. I just wish parents would realize what enormous power they have over the rest of their children's lives when they give them a name. I wish parents would realize that kids grow up. Just because a parent likes the name Dymondlyn Shardonnae DaiseeBlossom or Dakoda Hunter Truck'Killah doesn't mean that it's a good name for a kid. Kids aren't accessories. If you want something with a cool name, buy a dog or a boat or some crap like that.

NOW........Here are some unique girl names.Myla(557 were born last year)Nyla(797 were born last year)Neveah(6,020 were born last year)Novalee"unique" for a reasonAmericusunique if you think taking a unique name from a major motion picture is uniqueAmerica(539 born last year)Sailor ( I would spell it Say-Lor because it would be like Taylor) I would spell it HOOK-ER because it would be like "Hey Sailor."McCall nothing says feminine like "named after a sewing pattern company"Bentinonly if your last name is Half.Harper(1,885 born last year)Payton(3,623 born last year)Gemma(531 born last year)Esmee (You could say it like it sounds Ess-mee or you could say it Ess-May) You could also say it like Kick-mee or you could say it Woe-iss-meeEvangelineEVANGELINE how did you get onto this list? are you hurt? trapped? do you need help??

with literacy and justice for all

Poster 1: My nephew wants us to name the baby Liberty if it is a girl. I actually kinda like it! But I do not think it goes with Isabelle super well, like Justice or something free-spirited, lol. I still like other names better, but it is fun to play around with ideas. What are your thoughts in Liberty?

Poster 2: What about soem tradional name as a 1st and that as a middle. Since Belles is tradional or to me it is id think something along the same lines would be fitting.

Poster 1: like Liberty more and mroe each day, though I still like some of my traditional A names I posted about before that go wellw ith Belle.
